Lately at LondonBrowClinic, I’ve noticed a worrying trend: more and more clients are coming to us to have their brows corrected after work done elsewhere. The most common problem? The colour has shifted to greeny-blue or orange tones — something that should never happen when the correct pigments are used.



Why is this happening?



The truth is, many artists and clinics are cutting corners. Instead of using professional-grade semi-permanent makeup pigments (formulated specifically for delicate facial skin), they’re turning to tattoo inks. Tattoo inks were never designed for brows — they’re created for body art, not for work that sits in the face and is expected to fade naturally and gracefully.


So why do some artists use them?

Because they’re cheaper. In fact, true semi-permanent pigments can cost up to 50 times more than tattoo inks. With today’s economic pressures, clients are understandably searching for cheaper treatments, and many artists are trying to maintain profit margins by cutting their own costs. Unfortunately, this compromise comes at a very real cost to the client — your face, your confidence, and your long-term results.



Why we would never make this compromise



At LondonBrowClinic, our philosophy is simple: your face is priceless. We will never jeopardise the quality of our work or the health of your skin by using inferior products. Every pigment we use is carefully chosen, premium-grade, and designed for semi-permanent makeup. That means:


  • Natural fade over time (no strange colour shifts)

  • Safe and consistent healing

  • Long-term confidence in your results



Brows are not the place to gamble with shortcuts. What saves money in the short term often ends up costing more in the long run — both financially, when correction work becomes necessary, and emotionally, when your self-confidence takes a hit.



The takeaway



If you’re considering a brow treatment, please do your research and ask the right questions: What pigments are being used? Are they true semi-permanent pigments or tattoo inks? Your future self will thank you.


At LondonBrowClinic, we will always prioritise quality, safety, and artistry over profit margins. Because your brows should enhance your confidence — not leave you searching for a fix.

The Truth About “Fully Booked” — Why Transparency Matters in Microblading



By LondonBrowClinic – Specialist Microblading in London


If you’ve ever tried to book a microblading appointment and been met with long wait times or vague availability, you’re not alone. A growing number of microblading training academies are now teaching students more than just technique — they’re teaching them how to create the illusion of being fully booked, even when they’re not.


As the founder of LondonBrowClinic, I feel it’s important to speak up about this practice and explain why transparency is one of our core values.





What These Academies Are Teaching



Microblading students are being taught to:


  • Hide or restrict their booking calendars

  • Claim to be “booked up for months” to create urgency

  • Add other beauty services like waxing, lash lifts or facials to pad their schedules

  • Block out calendar space to appear busier than they are



The goal is to create artificial scarcity — a marketing tactic used to inflate the perceived demand for a service. But in the beauty industry, where trust and integrity should be non-negotiable, this tactic is ultimately misleading.





How We Do Things Differently at LondonBrowClinic



At LondonBrowClinic, we do one thing — microblading — and we do it to the highest standard.


We don’t offer lash extensions, facials, or filler appointments to artificially fill our calendar. Our availability reflects genuine microblading demand, not a multi-service business model designed to look busier than it is.


We also keep our booking process fully open and transparent. You can check real-time availability, book directly through our website, and know exactly where you stand — no waitlist gimmicks or hidden calendars.





Why It Matters



In an industry where clients are investing in semi-permanent treatments, trust is everything. You deserve to know:


  • Exactly when your artist is available

  • That you’re not being pressured into booking under false pretences

  • That your artist is a microblading specialist, not a generalist juggling ten services



Our mission is simple: to offer natural, hyper-realistic microblading in London — with honesty and precision.





Final Thoughts



We believe you shouldn’t have to decode someone’s booking strategy to access a quality service. At LondonBrowClinic, what you see is what you get — transparent availability, specialist treatment, and results you can trust.


We’ll never pretend to be booked just to look popular. Our reputation is built on real work, not illusions.

One of the most common things we hear from new clients is:

“I didn’t think anyone would touch my brows because I’ve had them done before.”


It’s true — many microblading artists prefer to work only on virgin skin. And we understand why. Fresh skin is predictable, it heals uniformly, and there’s no existing shape or pigment to work around. But here at LondonBrowClinic, we’ve never been interested in doing what’s easy — we’re here to do what’s right for the client sitting in front of us.


We’ve built a reputation over the past ten years for taking on the work others often won’t. That means looking at brows that have been previously microbladed — sometimes years ago, sometimes recently — and assessing whether we can restore, refine, and elevate the shape that’s already there. And in many cases, we can.


There’s an art to corrective work. It’s not as simple as going over faded pigment or tracing a new outline. It takes time, experience, and a clear understanding of skin behaviour, pigment migration, and facial balance. We look at every aspect: the original shape, the tone of the remaining pigment, the health of the skin, and how the old work is aging. From there, we rebuild carefully — often stroke by stroke — layering new definition and softness without overwhelming what’s already present.


It’s a slower, more considered process — but it’s also one of the most rewarding. Watching a client see their brows corrected after years of living with an unflattering shape, or pigment that no longer suits them, is something we never take lightly. It’s not just about fixing brows — it’s about restoring confidence.


We won’t sugarcoat it: not all previous work can be corrected. In some cases, removal is still the most ethical and effective option — and we’ll always be honest about that. But many clients who thought they had no options are surprised to learn that, with the right technique and a tailored plan, we can make a significant improvement without starting from scratch.
